Look, all I'm saying is that when I go on vacation, I mark where the liquor stores are, just in case I need to buy champagne for some reason.

5 authors for whom I've read at least 5 books: T Kingfisher Robin Hobb Tamora Pierce Sharon Shinn Sebastien de Castell

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it. I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.” 1/

4 kids on my couch ages 10-16 they knew all the lyrics to every song Green Day played. I am so proud and two of them aren't even mine.

“I went around the corner to see if spring was there.” “Did you find it?” asked Toad. “No,” said Frog. “There was only an old worm asleep on a tree stump.”

Ketchup is still a vegetable, right?

Today is my official end of Dry January because I have made it 30 days with amazing sleep and losing 4 pounds and dealing with every thing that is wrong with the world with no unhealthy crutches so I deserve a little treat. Also I would rather be hungover on a Sunday than a Monday.

My husband and daughter decided it was very important to make a cake in celebration of File Transfer Protocol. #GoBears

I suspected it was a bad idea to have a meeting when all the humans were running out of brain capacity.

Head's up there is a Bluesky ban scam going around. This account just joined 40 mins ago and send me this DM. DO NOT CLICK THE LINK. Bluesky would NEVER send a DM like this and make you scared. This would come through email and would have a more professional email than this. Stay safe!

Made the mistake of starting @tkingfisher.com's The Hollow Places right before my husband left for a trip and I had to go to bed at the same time as my kids because I didn't want to have to walk upstairs alone in the dark. On the plus side I did not wake up with drywall under my fingernails.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Border Patrol “attempted to arrest a plumber working inside a Logan Heights home but left empty-handed after the homeowner refused them entry. The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”

Genuinely one of the most interesting and helpful threads on this site.

Today is the 63rd anniversary of the London premiere of Dr. No, which means (well, obviously) it’s time to tell you a ridiculous shaggy dog story about the theft of not one but two portraits of the Duke of Wellington

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

I just found out that my friend's 19 yo son was killed in a car accident last night and my heart hurts so much. I lost both of my parents in February and now I feel the same as I did that day. Life is so unfair and the word "heartbroken" is such an apt word. Rest in Peace, Matthew.

Stocking up on Tylenol. Hoping it doesn't give my kids retroactive autism, which is of course a fate worse than death.

What would have been helpful was an episode of Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon. Or World Hoppers. Or anything. (Anything except MedCenter Argala.) But media would calm me down, and I wanted to stay angry.

Me too, for once!

1. Trump threatened every hospital that provides gender affirming care to transgender youth. Many complied and shut down their programs. Boston Children's Hospital didn't. They fought back and kept providing care. And now, they just beat Trump in court. Subscribe to support our journalism.

It's the Read For Pixels fundraiser: thepixelproject.rallyup.com/read4pixelsf... Raising funds with 17 Acclaimed Authors to Stop Violence Against Women. Many of these awesome authors have donated exclusive goodies to this special fundraiser. (including signed books by me) #murderbot #booksky

An Aug. 29 policy statement from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the federal agency, will from now on bar nonpartisan groups such as the League of Women Voters from offering voter registration services at the end of naturalization ceremonies. /1

Have to take an AI Fluency training for work and the first part was pretty informative about types of AI. The second part was a good discussion of ethics and legality in AI. But I am just gonna have to let this one about becoming AI ready and using AI to enhance your humanity on background thanks.

Shiv, when a normal person says "I shall find a hyena" it leads to a brief amusing social media thread but when you say that sort of shit it leads to "so anyway that's how my brother-in-law suddenly became governor of Madhya Pradesh, and he lives in Ohio" four days later

If something is incorrect on Wikipedia, it can be sourced, traced, disputed, fixed. If it's wrong in the LLM, it's just...wrong. It's not a fact explicitly stored somewhere, it's just a string of words generated by a probability map

Funny how when it comes to AI people are all "adapt or be left behind" but when it comes to remote work the same people insist that things must go back to how they were at all cost.

Our @3wishesprogram.bsky.social is now up to 1,945 followers!!! Can you help me get it to 2000 today? Would be much appreciated!

Setting aside the ethical and environmental concerns of AI, I'm really offended by a bunch of elite dudes telling us our minds aren't good enough when they've had to steal everything human minds have created to create their pretend mind and it doesn't even work right!

Daniel is the asshole that doesn't return his shopping cart. Fuk Daniel.

'Vacations.' The word is 'vacations.'

Ellie is still missing as of 7-6, her owners have several traps, feeding stations, flyers & have gone door to door. They even rented a thermal gun & are setting up a trail camera. They incredibly found two other lost cats and a lost dog! But elusive Ellie remains lost. Please share to help find her!

For the first half of my kindergarten year, my family lived in a shitty little apartment complex somewhere in Central Texas. I forget where. I think Waco? Copperas Cove? We moved around a lot. If memory serves correctly, I attended three different schools that year. (thread)

everyone should do this, the guy running it currently is a full on fraud, ppl you like and haven't seen in a bit are probably missing from your feed because he put them on his lists to settle a personal score

Crockett: We have more billionaires in the United States and any other country but the total number is 83. 83 people in this country have more representation than the hundreds of thousands that are about to lose their health care as well as their snap benefits

I remember the day my dad came home with our first VCR. He was the type who would always save up for top of the line gear (that VCR is still working over 40 years later) so we got one later than everyone else in the world. I watched Dirty Dancing on that thing about 100 times.
